If the graph is not just using made up data, then it also measures absolute em-dashes, not em-dash density, so possibly could be an increase in interest in contributing to the kernel?

By a factor of roughly 10-fold? Maybe. It could indeed be a measure of overal absolute contribution. But post 2025 that could be influenced by m-dash density especially.

No, the comment I responded to was about the ~2014 uptick, not the recent one.

The recent one is obviously AI one way or another. Absolute contribution rate is higher due to AI as well.

Yeah sure, no I am not surprised about post 2025. My question was indeed about the post 2014 uptick.
